Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Spring Valley

  • Spring Valley doesn’t have a hospital, but Sharp Grossmont Hospital sits 3 miles away in La Mesa. This facility serves as the largest hospital in East County and offers a full range of senior services, including health screenings, community-based flu shots and free health education classes. It also has health insurance advisors who help seniors enroll in Medicare.
  • San Diego County, where Spring Valley sits, rates in the 50-75th percentile for health outcomes and health factors compared to California as a whole. While air and water quality are subpar, the region’s rate of preventable hospital stays comes in at 2,007 instances per 100,000 people, which is notably lower than respective state and national rates of 2,256 and 2,809.
  • Spring Valley seniors aged 60 and over obtain transportation services through FACT, a nonprofit organization that serves seniors in San Diego County. To arrange a ride, seniors can call the main office at (888) 924-3228 on weekdays between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. and provide information such as their name, pick-up and drop-off locations and whether they use mobility aids.
  • The Spring Valley region has an Elder Index ranging between $23,604 and $46,836 for older adults in good health, depending on whether they rent their home or have a mortgage. This is 97-126% of the national norm, indicating that living costs are high, particularly for those with housing payments. Fortunately, many assisted living facilities in the region accept the state’s Assisted Living Waiver, which helps qualified seniors afford local long-term care expenses.   
  • The AARP assigns Spring Valley a livability score of 51, putting the city in the top half of U.S. communities. Compared to median U.S. norms of 0.0, local seniors have 0.5 grocery stores, 1.5 parks and 0.04 libraries within a half-mile radius, indicating comparatively high access to local amenities.
  • Spring Valley ranks as safer than 5% of U.S. communities and 6% of California cities, which makes residential care a preferred alternative to living alone for many seniors. While most crime that occurs here is property-related, the city also has one of the highest violent crime rates in the nation.
